Bow Mount a Trolling Motor on a Center Console That Has Railing?

I just measured my Great White and it's 2'7" at it's highest point in
the travel arc.
This large arc seems like will not fit into the relatively small space
below the railing.
Depending on where the rail is, it might clear if you put the motor in
the right angle and position.
If there is not enough space, I may have to get rid of the railing. Or
I may need to replace it with railing that is sticking out away from
the gunwhale. Hopefully, this will allow a lot more room for the arc.

Sticking way out...you might want to consider whether you'll ever dock at a
place where the boat's up against a wall higher than the boat. That could do
a real job on the railing as the boat rocks. You can protect the gunwales
with fenders, but railing's another story. I've seen railing removed by
neighboring objects, and some of the fiberglass along with it.
